Hey people,
just wondering what you people use for a ide.
I have been using One Studio from Sun.
but I am still new to java and I am finding it has to many bits and bobs.
anyone suggest any other ones to try.
off the free price range
I used notepad but thats a bit to hardcore for my likig I would like something with colour coded text and a good debugger.

Textpad has colour coded text and comes with the Java tools set up(if you already have the SDK installed). It does not have a debugger or a visual editor.

JBuilder personal edition is free. It has visual tools for building your interfaces, but I am don''t think the eprsonal edition has a debugger. (Note this is a pig, only get it if you have a ~1GHz machine or higher)
